The TV series House M.D. broadcast 177 episodes.
Those episodes were released across eight seasons on Fox from 2004 through 2012. Most followed a self-contained medical mystery, but the series also developed continuing stories about House’s addiction, professional conflicts, friendships, and relationships with hospital leaders and fellow doctors.
The total includes the two-part series finale, “Everybody Dies,” which completed the show’s broadcast run. Episode counts can be confused with the number of installments in individual seasons, because the seasons varied in length and some broadcast schedules included breaks or special scheduling arrangements.
The episode total also reflects the show’s broad production history. House M.D. became a major international hit, and its longevity allowed recurring characters such as James Wilson, Lisa Cuddy, Robert Chase, and Eric Foreman to receive substantial story development beyond the week’s medical diagnosis.
